Iranian Foreign Ministry announced Sunday that allocating prize for assassination of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was not Iranian official stance

According to the semi-official Fars News Agency Hassan Qashqavi, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said "the news released in some internet sources on Iranian prize for the assassination of Egyptian president Hosni Mubark does not represent Iranian official stance"

Some internet sources claimed Iran had allocated a 1-million-U.S. dollar prize for would-be assassin's of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak Mubarak.

Iran, either directly or indirectly, has criticized Cairo for closing Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip, which has been under intensive Israeli airstrikes and ground incursion for over two weeks.

Iran has incessantly called for wholesale support of Muslim world for the war-worn Gazans and strongly condemned the silence of some Arab states which Iran says paved the way for Israeli further offense.

It also invited world Muslims to "defend the oppressed Palestinians in the Gaza Strip," urging Muslims of the world to stay united against world arrogance, the criminal Zionists in particular."

Since the Israeli offensive began on Dec. 27, 2008 which the Jewish state said was aimed at retaliating Hamas rocket and mortar attacks, at least 878 people in the impoverished Gaza Strip have been killed and more than 3,500 others wounded.
Hamas is strongly backed by Iran which does not recognize Israel as a state of the international community.
